Personally love the atmosphere. Very laid back and fun, cornhole is a nice addition if you like to do something more than sit around and drink. And when the weather is good, the patio can't be beat.
Great stuff on tap, always. No BMC here. Bottles definitely geared toward the BMC crowd, and, if you're looking for non-American craft beer, you will not find it here. Tap wall is good enough for me though.
Service is at the bar only and is typically very good. Obviously when it is hectic, the service slows, but such is life.
As noted above, the tap lineup is always very good and diverse. I've never had a hard time finding something I'm in the mood for.
Food is done by food trucks parked out front and would be a perfect 5.0 if a truck was always parked out front. However, sometimes a truck isn't around, so you're kind of stuck. Hubcap Grill is serving some of the best burgers in town for my money.

Very laid back atmosphere. Small tap selection but well curated and continuously rotating. Staff has good beer knowledge and are good with cocktails too. A great spot for conversation, drinks and getting away from the crowds.

Converted gas station with a casual icehouse atmosphere along the slower end of Washington (east of Montrose). Small but interesting and largely local selection of taps, bottles and cans (along with spirits and cocktails). Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious patio with games and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy a mild spring evening and take in Houston's downtown skyline.

Great spot on the far end of Washington, towards downtown. It's location is perfect for it's atmosphere - relaxed and separated from all the other bars on Washington.
Mostly outdoors, with a small air conditioned space, this place has bags and jenga outside, foosball indoors. Doesn't serve food, but there is usually a food truck parked outside on Friday/Saturday night, or during special events.
10 rotating taps of miscellaneous craft beer (and by rotating i mean, every time the keg empties), and almost always 3 or more choices of IPA for the hopheads. My only complaint is they mark-up the hard-to-find beers significantly when they have them.
All in all a great place, usually my default if I head out to washington and want a laid back, fun night.

This place is a little gem found near downtown Houston. They don't have a lot of taps, but they are always revolving. I tried the (2) IPAs on tap, and they were good. The place is an old gas station, and has an awesome vibe! At the time I was there they had a crawfish boil. They also have oversize Jenga, cornhole, foos ball and other stuff you can do. It is an outside bar pretty much, with garage doors that can shut when it is cold. But it is Houston, so usually don't have to worry about that. I will definitely be a semi-regular.

This is a cool outdoor indoor bar on the end of Washington. Its the perfect location for it's style. Close enough to all of the other bars but far enough away that the douchebaggery doesn't effect it.
The Atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. Good music, life-size jenga, a couple of cornhole boards set up and some other bar games. Perfect place to be when the weather is nice
The service was good. There is a mean older bar tender who needs to check her attitude at the door, but everyone else that works there is very nice and works a crowd very efficiently.
The selection isn't huge, but what they have is of good quality. All of the good available TX beers along with some great West Coast selections. I didn't have a hard time finding a beer to drink at all
They don't really have a menu but they have a bad ass food truck that parks outside every night so I am giving them credit. The food from the truck was AMAZING! Cant wait to go back and get a noter pulled pork sammy
I got my check and I was shocked! I thought I had easily ran up a $40 tab and it came back at $25.
Needless to say, this is definitely worth checking out. I cant wait to go back

This is a nice Icehouse like bar. A large area outside with room for Bags and a covered patio. Some picnic tables outside with a small centrally located bar. A cozy area off to the left of the bar that is like a living room. Some chairs, tables, and a fireplace. Plenty of TV's around, and music is usually playing a little to loud for my tastes. Though neither of those are a big deal.
The main bartender works hard and knows her stuff. Though just really busy all the time. Just tumblers and half pint glasses for tap beer.
The beer selection is very good. Last time I was there they had Jester King Black Metal, Ommegang Triple Perfection and BPA, Saint Arnold, 512, and Sierra Nevada among others. The bottle list is similar. Pretty much all American Micros with a few BMC in bottle to pay the bills. Plus a cask every once in a while.
They do not have food, but the Hubcap Burger Stand is always outside. They make some really good burgers.
I like this place a lot. They do a good job of getting quality craft beers on tap, and a very relaxing place to hang out.
Edit:
I am upping the service and quality rating by one each. Consistent quality of taps and the bartenders do a good job keeping up when this place gets packed. Which is often. One of those places I like more and more each time I go.
